TOP LINCOLNSHIRE PUB LEFT OUT OF CAMRA
BEER
GUIDE
Local drinkers are up in arms about the news that
the White Hart at Ludford has been left out of the Camra
Beer guide, many are suggesting that the Louth branch of the organisation be disbanded.
CAD have only just heard of the blunder but it is known that Mick Sharpe
the landlord of the pub is furious. We will keep you posted on any further
developments.
We have recently moved our forum to a new server
so there may be a few broken links but all should be sorted and working
now.

Some very disturbing news has filtered down the grapevine
this week, firstly another nail has been hammered into the pub coffin by
proposals for licensing of pubs to be granted only if the magistrates deem
that there is no negative effect on the local community - and wait for it,
"in the respect of alcoholism and obesity." It now seems that the pub
landlord is responsible for all the drunks and food junkies in the
world. I think it's fairly obvious now that this government wants
rid of the traditional English pub.
More sillyness has been reported in
Hull where after experiments using polycarbonate drinking vessels in some pubs
and clubs in the city, they are trying to become
glass free. At the moment it is optional but we all know where this is
going. This started us wondering here at CAD, seeing as most town centre
pubs allow their clientele to consume their drinks from bottles, does this
mean that all bottles will have to be made of plastic too? And what
about the environment that this government are so concerned about?
All this extra plastic can't be a good idea. What next? Have all the
buildings windows walled up?

The Queens Head - Legbourne has
found a new landlord and landlady and will be
open soon, it would seem that
they are committed to real ales so watch
this
space.
This weekend sees the annual Lincoln
Beer Festival, it starts Thursday and boasts 70 beers
and
ciders.
Another annual event that starts this
weekend is the Beer and Bangers Festival at the Wheatsheaf in Louth.
The event has proved very popular in the past and usually runs through
the
week.
